The Story
In the year 2075, the Earth Defense Force (EDF) received a distress signal from a small mining facility on the surface of Mars. A group of rebels calling themselves the Red Faction had overthrown the ruthless Ultor Corporation after years of oppression. The EDF responded by launching a fleet of warships to Mars to aid the miners, bring Ultor to justice and restore order to the Martian colonies. In order to ensure safety and security for the newly liberated colonists, the EDF set up command posts and bases across the planet. Initially, under the EDF's rule, the people of Mars prospered: colonists established homesteads, built towns and independent mining operations and began to stake and work their mining claims. But the more things change on Mars, the more they stay the same.

The troubles began with colonists being driven from their homes and mining claims by greedy, Earth-based corporations. Then came a 50 year turn of events that saw the EDF adopting the heavy-handed tactics that it once stood against. Yet in doing so it also instilled a deep-seated resentment among the miners and settlers of the Martian colonies. One of these new Martians is miner Alec Mason, whose dream of a new life carved out of the course Martian soil was crushed in the face of EDF-ordered curfews, detention centers, beatings, mass arrests and personal tragedy. But as powerful as the EDF is, there is resistance. Mason and a small group of revolutionaries have banded together, taken up the Red Faction name and pledged to again bring about a free Mars. And though their enemy has changed, their battle cry remains unchanged: "Better Red than Dead."

Key Game Features:

  • Join the Revolution - When the citizens of Mars can no longer bear the injustice of an oppressive regime, the fate of the planet lies in the hands of Alex Mason and the Red Faction.
  • Open World Guerilla Warfare - You decide who, when, where and how to battle. Utilize guerilla tactics, improvised weaponry, and modified vehicles to lead insurgent attacks on EDF targets. Launch attacks based on your own gameplay style, take on missions in any order you choose, or engage in destructive activities to weaken the EDF’s grip on Mars.
  • Geo-Mod Technology 2.0 - Use destruction to your tactical advantage, setting ambushes or chain reaction explosions to attack enemy strongholds and permanently modify the game environment. Leverage fully-dynamic physics-based destruction to improvise on the fly: blow holes in a wall or floor to set an ambush or escape, take out a staircase to stop your pursuers, or drive vehicles through blown out walls.
  • Evolving & Emergent Gameplay - Carve your path through an ever changing landscape as you improvise your combat tactics – mixing gameplay styles, vehicles, weapons and explosives to defeat the EDF.
  • Epic Sci-fi Setting - Explore the huge, unforgiving Martian landscape, from the desolate mining outpost of Parker to the gleaming EDF capital city of Eos; then tear through the fully destructible open-world environments swarming with EDF forces, Red Faction resistance fighters, and the downtrodden settlers caught in the crossfire.
  • Multiplayer Combat - There is no place to hide when you put your guerilla warfare skills to the test in a variety of highly destructive 2-16 person online multiplayer combat modes.
  • Xbox LIVE Support - Build your Xbox 360 gamer score, achievements collection and leaderboard placement through full Xbox LIVE support.
Guerilla Warfare
You don't stand a chance against the EDF using standard military tactics. The only recourse when the few stand against the many is the use of hit and run tactics. Learn the routes of the patrols and quickest ways in and out of EDF strongholds. By studying these things you can instinctively know when to attack, and when to wait for a better opportunity.

Ambushes are also useful in thinning EDF ranks. Remote charges and proximity mines are your best friend when preparing an ambush. A few well-placed charges on the structural supports of a bridge can do wonders for stopping a convoy dead in its tracks. Above all else, remember this: guerilla tactics are not about fighting fair, they are about winning.

3 out of 5 stars Gets Boring Fast...   March 8, 2010
Elvis Zombie (Angola, Indiana USA)
This is a really late review. This game came out in 2009, and to be honest I forgot I had bought it. The reason for this is the game is utterly forgetable.
Nothing new here. This is a 3rd person sandbox shooter that takes place on mars. The major problems I have with the game is how boring it is. I played it heavy for about a week when I got it. Then, I just quit playing it and it's been sitting on a shelf collecting dust unbeaten and unplayed for five or six months.
It's not really a bad game, it's just not very good either. It's basically the same game as Mercenaries for the first generation X-box only not as good. Mercenaries was something fresh. It took the premise of the Grand Theft Auto series and put it in a warzone with fully destructable buildings and an array of airstrikes you could call in. It was all about destruction. This game tries to do the same, but when compared to Mercenaries it's just not that good. Mercenaries had three playable characters, this game only has one. There aren't any cool airstrikes or even cool vehicles to drive. Seriously, you could hijack helicopters in Mercenaries. This game has no hijackable flying vehicles. It's pretty lame. However, it's not all bad. The sledge hammer is really cool. It's perhaps the most satisfying part of the game. You can break down walls and stuctures with it, and there isn't anything more fun than smashing some dude into next week like John Henry. Furthermore, Red Faction has upgradable weapons.
In short, you can upgrade your weapons by collecting credits for completing tasks. This increases the ammount of ammo you can carry, the damage your weapons cause, and unlocks new abilities. Unfortunatly, the weapon upgrades don't really add much to the gameplay. This is because the mission design is poorly done. You basically do a series of four or five style of missions over and over again. Graphically it doesn't look that great either. Fanboys will be up in arms, and I expect to get some unhelpful review clicks because I speak the truth. The game is fun for a snowy or raining weekend, but Red Faction is weak when it goes head to head with other sandbox style games. If you simply must play it, I suggest getting it really cheap or just renting it for a few days. You'll thank me later.



4 out of 5 stars Not bad   January 26, 2010
Taylor C. White (Florida)
Not expensive, and alright fun. It can get annoying when you get stuck at parts, and the gameplay is not that deep, but its enjoyable. It's fun to smash up buildings, but this aspect of the game in reality is not that important to the game.


4 out of 5 stars Pretty good - little replay value.   January 19, 2010

This game is very cathartic. That means therapeutic to you kids out there. If you feel like smashing something - whacking a wall with an axe or sledgehammer, this game is perfect. Part of your objective includes destroying your environment - and unlike most games that say they have "destructible environments", this one really delivers.
You're on Mars, you're fighting the evil government, you have a sledgehammer. GO. The weapons are cool, the game progress is good, the missions are OK - most of the side missions are just annoying. The real fun is destroying stuff and collecting scrap. And blowing up bad guys. And maybe using a giant robot thing to mess around in. Pretty cool.



5 out of 5 stars TOTAL DESTRUCTIAN   December 30, 2009
AT Hun (Carlsbad, CA)
I played the online beta for this game before it was out and i was impressed.I got the game when it came out and immidiatly started playing. The campaign was great instead of being in some orginized military group ur a terrest fighting for freedom on Mars. The game dosent have the best graphicks but u can blow up everything u see.If u dont beleve me download the demo. the campaign is great.U can hijack any veichle u see. The online multieplayer gets repetetive after a long time but its worth getting the game.
